Need more rain and snow in the watershed, optional to have rain down here though it is nice.
It is strange that most of the winter weeds here are exotics, that is imports from somewhere else in the world. The vast majority of the grasses that are short day are from somewhere else, the broad leafed weeds come from afar too. One grass I really hate has those sticky seed heads, it was brought here to provide fodder for range cattle but they don't like it, won't eat it, not even the rabbits will eat this stuff. Then there is Johnson Grass, it scavenges arsenic out of the soil, has these rhizomes like Bermuda grass that are near impossible to kill off and here again nothing eats it. Then we have Pig Weed, it too scavenges arsenic out of the soil and if livestock eat enough of it they curl up and die. Bull Heads, Goat Heads, Puncture Vine, whatever you want to call it is one nasty weed to run afoul of, hard on the feet or bicycle tire, grows well here. I know it anathema to you but after a rain is a good time to apply a per-emergent herbicide, just saying.
